Allan McPhail - we were very pleased to see Allan at our meeting (19th April) and were inspired by the photographs he showed.
Well worth a look at his website - click on the photographs to see other images.

The Grey Panthers - A very comprehensive walking site complete with photographs and route descriptions.

Links to Software

Most cameras produce digital images which can be downloaded on to a computer and printed off.

We have links to a number of programmes (some free) which you can use to manage and manipulate your photographs.

morgueFILE (free) - this link takes you to a photography website which has quite a good tutorial (10 lessons) by Jodie Coston covering all the basics plus some nice photographs.

Picasa Image Software (free) - this is quite a good, simple to use image program for manipulating photos using slider bars.

Irfanview Image Viewer (free) - this is a simple to use image viewer with various tools including red eye reduction, greyscale, resize etc.

GIMP (free) - this is a powerful image manipulation programme similar to Adobe Photoshop. Recommended by Which Consumer Magazine. However it is quite complicated so is particularly useful to competant users.

Adobe Photoshop - the industry standard for image manipulation. The full Photoshop programme is very expensive but Photoshop Elements is a more affordable alternative which will suffice for most users.
